Cupcake!


To make the cupcake you will need:
Worsted weight yarn
Size G/6 (4.25 mm) crochet hook
Fiberfill, Polypellets or stuffing of your choice
Little beads to use as sprinkles J

Abbreviations I used:
ch = chain
dec = decrease
hdc = half double crochet (UK: half-treble crochet)
R = round
sc = single crochet (UK: dc double crochet)
sk = skip
sl st = slip st (UK: sc single crochet)
st(s) = stitch(es)
* = repeat directions between * and * as many times as indicated


INSTRUCTIONS

Cupcake Bottom
I used brown yarn for a chocolate cupake
R1– Ch 2, 6 sc in second chain from hook
R2- 2 sc in each sc around (12 sts)
R3- *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R4- *2 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)
R5- *3 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (30 sts)
R6- Through back loops only:
*Sc 3, dec 1*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)
R7- *3 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (30 sts)
R8- *4 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (36 sts)
R9-12: Sc 36
Bind off, leaving long tail approx. 13 inches long for sewing to top of cupcake

Cupcake Icing :)
I used pink yarn for strawberry icing
R1– Ch 2, 6 sc in second chain from hook
R2- 2 sc in each sc around (12 sts)
R3- *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R4- *2 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)
R5- *3 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (30 sts)
R6- *4 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (36 sts)
R7-10: Sc 36
Continue to make the wavy edge:
R11: *3 hdc in next st, sk 1 sc, 1 sl st in next st*, repeat 12 times (thank you Jaden!)
Bind off, weave in loose end.

Sew sprinkles to icing.

Assembly:
Place the icing on top of the bottom part, lining up the stitches of the bottom part to the stitches inside the wavy part of the top (so the wavy part won’t be sewed, sew by the part right on top of the waves). Sew around ¾ of the way and fill bottom part with polypellets, beans or rice so the cupcake sits nice, and the top part with fiberfill, cotton balls or stuffing of your choice so it’s nice and soft.


Listo!

Hi.

Thanks for sharing the pattern for this cute cupcake. ^^

I've just finished my first attempt and it looks quite nice (though I guess the brown yarn I took for the bottom is too dark). ^^;

Anyway there is a small mistake in the pattern, I think. It says "R11 [...] repeat 6 times" but it must be repeated 12 times, right? ^^;

Bye!
Jaden

Wow, I've been looking for your book high and low in all my local book shops with no joy :[. I can't believe I randomly stumbled upon your blog!

All of your stuff is really great.
Can you recommend a pattern for a reaaally BAD beginner.

Many thanks! x

Thanks for sharing!

your work is awsome!!

Ohhh...so cute! I made one today for my birthday. Because I'm a beginner, it took several attempts and then I still ended up with a slightly crooked cupcake. But each time I tried this, I learned more about tension, etc. so it was a great learning experience!

I'll make more until they come out perfect. What great little birthday greetings they will make!

Thank you for sharing!

That's it, I'm off to my local yarn/paint shop today for some yarn to make one! Too cute. I love the ones with faces on them, too! Any particular fibres you'd recommend? Wool, cotton, acrylic, etc? Not quite sure how well cotton would work, as it doesn't have the same elasticity that wool and some synthetics have.

Hi! Im a crocheting begginer and Im a bit confused in round 3. Could someone please break it down for me?

caitirin said...

I loved this one! Here's my attempt: Cupcake!

I just need to get some beading needles to do the sprinkles.

KikiB, I used acrylic for the brown and I used cotton for the top. I love making amigurumi in cotton, it lends itself to such nice crisp stitches.

Great pattern! Mine turned out a little lopsided, but that's probably because I had to stuff it with cotton balls.
